Hi;

The company also designed this;

the Turbo-Cat was a jet aircraft catapult launch system powered by six jet engines. It was invented by Don Doolittle, and manufactured by the All American Engineering Co. of Wilmington, Delaware, USA. Six Allison J33 engines in a capstan arrangement provided 50,000 horsepower directly to the launching cable

A strange thing in my files;

the company designed a lightweight fighter during 1950s,only for research,
but remained a Project,I didn't record the source and I want any confirm.

A hint about the company;

As I discovered that,Donald B. Doolittle was worked for this company,

my dear Jemiba submitted a drawing to a patent from him,it was certainly associated
to this firm,in reply # 144;

From Ailes 26/5/1956,

this company makes me in amazing day after day,it had a Project for twin
engined aircraft,with detachable boat as I think,and old new idea for
medium transport aircraft.

after it changed its title into; All American Industries Inc.,I tried to find
any more Projects for it,but I couldn't.

By the way,the aircraft in JAWA 1974 was called Model-10,it means that there
were a series from Model-1 to Model-9 before ?!.

Hi,

the MX-2136 was a Panto-base fighter study of 1950s ?.

By the way,the aircraft in JAWA 1974 was called Model-10,it means that there were a series from Model-1 to Model-9 before ?!.

Okay, first of all, it is common for a company to launch its first product as a "Model 10", a "Model 100", even a "Model 1000", and it doesn't necessarily mean that there have been 9, 99 or 999 designs before it! It is just a marketing ploy to give the impression that the company is not a newcomer, and it also gives the product a more memorable designation than just "1".

Secondly, you need to distinguish between the various companies named "All-American"... The Ensign was not related at all to the Delaware-based company.

1. All-American Aircraft Co., founded in 1929 in Akron, Ohio, took over the assets from the Babcock Airplane Co. (from the same location), marketing the LC-11 Cadet.
   
   
2. All-American Aviation, located in Wilmington, Delaware, which started off as the Bowlus-du Pont Sailplane Corp., (same location) and produced the "All-American Model A" (also known as the "All-American Dupont Utility") in 1936. The company later became All-American Engineering Co. (same location) and developed in 1951 the flying submarine project, designed by its vice-president D. B. Doolittle and equipped with water skis. Later still, the company became All American Industries Inc., with Doolittle now as president, and developed the Aerocrane. It would seem that the company still exists to this day.
   
   
3. All-American Aircraft Inc., founded circa 1945 in Long Beach, California by Ernest & Gerald Adler. They produced the Model 10-A Ensign. A Model 10-D with retractable gear and 125 hp engine, as well as a Model 12 (a target proposal for the USAF) remained projects. This company is not related in any way to the other two.
